You could say I followed the Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life ideology well before it became popular, but I'd call it a coincidence. I believe I lost the first copy (or it got too damaged to work), the second copy got scratched or warped and I couldn't access most worlds as a result, and it ended at the third. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but I actually owned three copies of the game. As far as my first experiences with the game go, I got stuck on the second world and left it as such, then I got stuck in the fourth world and left it at that, then I pussied out because at the time I was deathly afraid of in-game spiders, then finally I just plowed through the remainder of the game (mind you, when I got older). I don't remember exactly how I got a hold of Shrek Extra Large, but I'm assuming I merely got it as a gift from my parents. As far as my gaming encounters go, I started off properly with the likes of Super Mario Sunshine, The Simpsons Road Rage and Battle for Bikini Bottom. I enjoyed it like a grand majority of kids did back in the day, and I had no idea it would expand to the lengths it would in later years. I remember watching Shrek when I was a kid. Now I know what you're thinking, why did I start off with nothing but drivel? Well, this ties in to my experience with the following game. A name that was once synonymous with a decent children's film, and is now best associated with memes, memes galore, and that's about it.
There was a window for improvement, and it gradually grew overtime. What I mean by that is that developers were still accustomed to the standards of the fifth generation of gaming, hence why we had titles on the PlayStation up to 2002 (and I'm drawing the line there because only those with no shame would ever release PlayStation titles in, say 2004 or 2005 (seriously, one of each exists). so-so launch titles that weren't by the companies marketing the systems.
The first year the GameCube was released, the time the PS2 was gaining more traction, the year the original XBOX (greatest console ever) came out, a time of. It was the rise of the sixth generation of gaming. Let me take you back to 2001, gaming wise. They were brought to the United States in 1786.NOTE: I did a review of this game ages ago, but now I decided to re-tackle it, (try) to give it a deeper look. In fact, the collection of her stories were essentially the very first fairy tale book ever published! The stories quickly became popular and were translated from French to English in the 1720’s. She was telling these stories as far back as the 1200’s in France, but they weren’t published officially until 1697! King Robert had a wife who would tell all kinds of stories to children in and around the palace when she was queen. The most likely origin of Mother Goose is that she was the wife of King Robert II of France. There are many different theories out there about her, ranging from being an American from the 1600’s to a Frenchwoman from the 1200’s! Despite being around for a very long time, historians still aren’t sure exactly who she is.
You may know her from the nursery rhymes, stories, and perhaps a game or two that you play, but who is she? Mother Goose is part of a long history of oral traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Or you can have fun learning about Mother Goose any time! Let’s start with a short history lesson and then move on to fun times! The History of Mother Goose I’m thinking Mother Goose Day would be a lot of fun to celebrate during our homeschool day so I am sharing the links I’ve found with you, and, well you can do them next year.
